It wasn't too bad at the cat sitter. I had many admirers who said I was handsome. My fur got brushed everyday by the human. I got used to it. But I am glad to be back. I plan to yell this human's house down (he has been meowing very very loudly, as though he is using all his strength in his yells). (He will keep it up for about 10 minutes then he quietens down.)

I thought I should get her something that would protect her limbs from her incessant overgrooming.

She was wrapped up like a pancake and she did not know how to move in it.

I had to roll up her sleeves so she could walk.

She was very resigned. Her belly was exposed though but this would allow her to feel cool. She wore the pjs for an hour only but I think I would give up this idea as it would be too hot to wear in Singapore. Time to think of something else.

This Sunday we are just sitting inside. The day is very hot although the weatherman advised that there would be thundery showers. These people do not seem to know what they are talking about. Cats know better and I advised San to stay inside.

We just wanted to show off our Popps in her nice red collar sitting by her fav window (for now). The grey kitty used to belong to our rainbow kitty Totoro.

Popps giving the kitty a good sniff before she settled.

Her face is still ok despite it being close to a month that she had had her injection. We are no longer using bleach in the kitchen bathroom. We are also following the advice of one of our visitors who told us about the Vit C and Vit B. We did our own research at Tanya CRF site (since Popps is a CRF kitty) and the advice was to give her 1/10 vit B. 1/10 of a human dose per day and if it's 1000mg then Popps should get 100mg. She gets 150 mg Vit C as well. Surprisingly she allowed us to give her the mixture in the syringe. This is the second week she is on it. We hope at last we have found a remedy for her.

I minded my own business and did not do the meet and greet this Hari Raya. It wasn't so bad as people left me alone. San told them that I needed to rest. Here I was sitting next to the window in san's bedroom. There was a slight drizzle so the breeze was cool.

I had to put Rez with a friend who is a cat sitter last Thursday as there would be many people in the house next week because of Hari Raya Haji. He stayed in his carrier but played with the sitter so he will be ok. He will be there for 2 weeks.

When I came home without him B was surprised. He spent a long time looking for Rez as he was walking around the kitchen and rooms for some time. I told him about Rez but he was undeterred. So I asked Fern to speak with him yesterday.

Fern:

Bujang: Before I could ask him anything, he gave me doubts and wonders. So I immediately explained to him that Rezki has to be away for some time. He said "poor boy", and he is concerned that Rezki could feel bad that he has been moved here and there often. So I explained to him that there would be a lot of people coming to his place, thus it may not be convenient and Rezki may not handle it well, so it's better to have him stay somewhere else temporary. I told him that your sister would be staying there, too. Then, Bujang said "Oh it's that time of the year again!" and then he perked up a little bit, not too excited, then he showed me images of colorful stuff and noise and activities going on. I could feel that he has seen several years of festivals at your place thus he knows what to expect.

I scanned his body, everything was fine except I felt a little numbness/heaviness on the left cheek, up to the eye. He seemed a bit more relieved after the explanation above. But I can feel he has compassion for Rezki. That's very sweet of him :)

Yesterday after asking San again and again I finally got out to walk downstairs. It was not hazy and there was no more more burning if hell money so San borough me down. I sat most of the time in my carrier as I liked watching the happenings but I also got out to walk about and eat grass.

Here I was making my choice of which blade to eat.

I also looked around a bit as I have not been downstairs for a long time.

But I mostly sat here as there were many strange noises and I was nervous after being away for so long.

Poppy is looking very well. The vet gave her a reduced amount of the steroid for her eczema. He warned that the next one will only be in December. 2 weeks ago she had a swollen right eye and so I brought her to the vet. I hope we can find another solution for her with tcm.

About Me

About US

Bujang came one rainy afternoon on 18 Oct 04. He was a scared 4 week old kitten who fought bravely. He drank his milk and ate all his vitamins and grew up big, strong and steady. Ms Akira came from the SPCA on 20 Feb 05. She was about 2 months. She was a diva then and a diva now. Her favourite cat is her bruffer Bujang. Totoro (or Toro for short and TunaBelly for laughs), came here on 1 Mar 06 at 1.5 years old. He is goofy and gentle and loves to have his fur brushed. I rescued Megat from a dark cockroach-infested carpark on 13 Dec 06. He was already more than 10 years old. He had bad teeth, cataracts and FIV. Now he has 1 canine, some bluriness in his eyes and is a cancer (lymphoma) survivor for 2 years already (as of May 2011). He is very loving towards his humans, loves warm cushions and warm hearts. Rocket Tanaka is named after the celebrity chef Jun Tanaka. He was a Deepavalli blessing on 18 Nov 07, at 2 months. He eats much and sleeps even more but he is a sportskitty at heart. He thinks he is The Boss and behaves like one. Popsicle Poppy was rescued in October 2013, At 10, she was not as fast as before and was hurt twice by other cats and sometimes her fur would be singed by the fires during the Ghost Months. We formally adopted her in Nov 2014 after about 18 months of recuperation. Ninja Rezki started as a foster in April 2016 but as he has kidney issues, the amigos decided he should stay. We bought him a new toy on 24 December 2016 and adopted him on 25 Dec 2016. I am blessed to have them all.

Megat's details

We have put all of Megat's history in his own blog at http://megatmycat.blogspot.com/

There you will see his journey with lymphoma and how we managed to put him on the long road to recovery.

Run Free at Rainbow Bridge

We are blessed to have known these kitties and know that they are now running free.Callie (091108) She died of Ataxia. It was rumoured she was Minah's mother. She was a calm community cat.B's Mom (251108) She had an accident at the carpark where she stayed. she was small and petite, unlike my Tuxie Bujang. She was his mother and she had many kittens but was too wily to be caught.Awang (050411) He was sister S's cat and he died of FIV and renal failure.FatBoy (240810) He died of renal failure and was a gangster when he was younger but he loved scritches and midnight snacks.Minah (141011) She died of renal failure. She was our pretty community cat that everyone loved and looked out for.

Our Community Cats

Our first community cats aka Wild Bunch was a group of 4 - Callie, FatBoy, Minah and Putih. Callie died of ataxia after about 1.5 weeks of hospitalisation. It was a painful affair for her even though she was under palliative care. FatBoy died of kidney failure. He was an old cat and we did all we could for him from shelter to medicines. We even tried growth hormones! Now out of the original 4, we only have Minah and Putih - both healthy although Minah will be 7 years old this year, like my cat Bujang. the new cats Tiger and Jeffrey Boy are not really the Wild Bunch but we feed them every evening. They have a caregiver M but we feed them anyway as they are community cats.
